Precursor organization to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, name that it took in January 1948.

Produced the enriched uranium used for Little Boy, located in the area/predecessor of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Ciro Santilli's jaw dropped when he learned about this concept. A Small Talent for War, are you sure?

The B Reactor of the facility produced the plutonium used for Trinity and Fat Man, and then for many more thousand bombs during the Cold War. More precisely, this was done at

Located in Washington, in a dry place the middle of the mountainous areas of the Western United States, where basically no one lives. The Columbia river is however nearby, that river is quite large, and provided the water needed by their activities, notably for cooling the nuclear reactors. It is worth it having look on Google Maps to get a feel for the region.

Unlike many other such laboratories, this one did not become a United States Department of Energy national laboratories. It was likely just too polluted.

The equation is simple: frequency is proportional to field strength!

Used to identify organic compounds.

Seems to be based on the effects that electrons around the nuclei (shielding electrons) have on the outcome of NMR.

So it is a bit unlike MRI where you are interested in the position of certain nuclei in space (of course, these being atoms, you can't see their positions in space).

MRI is using NMR to image inside peoples bodies!

Some of the most notable ones:
